  • A few updates from us:
    ------------------------------------------------------------

For the past four decades, NCVC has operated as a nonpartisan organization dedicated to advocating for and supporting all victims of crime. This principle has guided our work and will continue as we look forward. We remain committed to our nonpartisan approach, focused solely on the needs of victims and the pursuit of justice for all.

One of our most crucial programs, our VictimConnect Resource Center, helps more than 10,000 victims — for free and confidentially — every year. Right now, the immediate future of this critical service is unclear amid news that federal grants may be paused. Though we believe this administration will agree our services are crucial and will be approved, we need funds now to bridge the gap.

Any amount you can give right now will help us ensure that our victim-assistance specialists are ready to answer when someone calls. If you can give, your 100% tax-deductible donation will help us provide direct support to victims during this uncertain time. Thank you for your support — now and always.

A note to organizations — and anyone trying to reach us:
It’s come to our attention that some partner organizations and others may have incorrect or outdated contact information for us listed on their websites. The National Center for Victims of Crime’s website is victimsofcrime.org (http://victimsofcrime.org/) and our phone number is 202-467-8700. Please update any contact information you have!

Have news you want to share in our February 12th, 2025 issue? Here’s what to do: Submit a paragraph of 150 words or less with the information you want to share to no later than noon Eastern on Monday, February 10, so we can try to fit it in! We generally are unable to accommodate images, so please make sure all relevant links are in your text submission.

The National Training Institute (NTI) is your chance to shape the future of victim services. Join us September 3–5 in Orlando, Florida, and be part of a dynamic gathering of professionals dedicated to making a difference.

Your voice matters. Whether you’re sharing groundbreaking research, innovative programs, or lessons learned, your ideas help frame the conversations that move victim advocacy forward. Proposals are due February 7, 2025, so don’t wait!

Submit your proposal here (https://ncvc.jotform.com/242385085896875) and help make NTI 2025 unforgettable.

National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW) is just around the corner, and there are plenty of resources available to help you prepare for this important observance in April.

In addition to this year’s artwork and themes, you can explore a variety of tools and opportunities:

Whether you’re organizing an event, amplifying awareness on social media, or supporting survivors in your community, these resources are here to help. Together, we can make this year’s NCVRW the most impactful yet.

January marked National Stalking Awareness Month, a time to bring attention to a crime that affects millions of people each year. Stalking is often misunderstood but can have devastating impacts on victims, including significant safety concerns and emotional trauma.

Resources and webinars are still available to help raise awareness and support survivors. Visit stalkingawareness.org (https://www.stalkingawareness.org/stalking-awareness-month-2025/) to access tools, information, and recordings from this important campaign.

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, a national effort to raise awareness about unhealthy relationships among youth and empower communities to prevent dating abuse.

This year, join us in taking action by attending a free webinar hosted by the National Domestic Violence Hotline:
  • Webinar: Understanding Teen Dating Abuse and Supporting Young Survivors
  • Date/Time: Tuesday, February 13, 2025, at 2 PM ET
  • Details: This session will explore the dynamics of teen dating abuse, its long-term effects, and how advocates, educators, and community members can support young survivors.

Register for the webinar here. (https://thehotline-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_VCEpeyJiS5-gpTZYDi6Zdw#/registration)

Let’s work together to educate teens about respect, consent, and healthy relationships. Together, we can build a future where every young person feels safe and supported.
